H. Bruckner, of the New York State College of Agriculture. Adult birds are the most danger- ous to bring in, as they may appear healthy, yet carry colds, cholera, and other diseases that cause much damage on poultry farms. If birds and not eggs are brought into a breeding establishment, a few home farm birds should be put with the new arrivals in an isolated pen for a few weeks, and watehed to see if all stay healthy. Half-grown range stock is less dangerous than adult birds, and baby chicks are still better. The breeder should make sure he buys from a farm with disease-free birds, pullorum free if his own birds are tested. In buying eggs or chicks for breeding stock, says Professor Bruckner, it is well to buy more than the nurnber. , needed, so only 'the best will be kept for mixing with the home farm breeding birds. The "Plimsoll" Mark Back in the 190I century, shipping in British bottoms was not only highly competitive but also profit- able. Competition, however, encour- aged the ship owners to overload their ships so seriously that ship losses were extremely high—and as the losses increased, it became in- creasingly difficult to secure sea- men. About twice as large as Texas, Bolivia has no seaport, must use • rail connection with Peruvian and. Chilean ports for Pacific outlet, or turn to the headwaters of the Ama- zon River for Atlantic contact. Bolivia's land -locked Andean pla- teau, cradled two miles high be- tween snow-capped ranges two • miles higher, stirred the world's interest with its "world's highest capital, La Paz," and its "world's highest steamer service" on Lake Titicaca. Low tropical plains to the east of the mountains make up about seven -tenths of the national domain. On the south they merge into the Gran Chaco region, scene of a re- cent boundary war with Paraguay. More than half of Bolivia's 3,226,- 000 people are Indians, successors. to one of the New World's oldest • cultures. Influence of Spanish occu- pation endures in names and in- stitutions. Sucre, the nominal cap- ital, has a university founded in , 1624. La. Paz, biggest city, with 200,000 people, is the actual seat of government. Damping -off Damping -off causes much damage • to vegetables, both by reducing the • percentage of germination and by rotting off the stems of seedlings at the surface of the ground. It is most serious on plants started under glass, but often injures crops start- ed in the open. For plants started ' under glass, the soil may be treat- ed with formaldehyde dust; or, for small lots, heated in the oven to kill ' the disease organisms.
